The workers of the Lanzarote Tourist Centers maintain the call for a strike next Monday despite the proposals made by the management of the EPEL accepting the demands of the Works Council, but introducing the possibility of subcontracting other companies and varying the conditions of the collective agreement relating to the employees' schedules. This was confirmed to LA VOZ by Andrés Barreto, a member of the Committee.
On the other hand, the Board of Directors of the Art, Culture and Tourism Centers (CACT) met yesterday to ratify Pedro San Ginés in the position of CEO of the Centers. Barreto conveyed the workers' discomfort at the return of such a criticized person to the management of the public company, which is interpreted by the Works Council as the imposition of a continuous line of management, according to the "lack of willingness to negotiate" that has characterized the leader of the Centers in the last year and a half. In addition, the councilor of Alternativa Ciudadana 25 de Mayo expressed "the incomprehension" that a person who had resigned from the position of his own free will is chosen as the leader of the centers.
For their part, the representatives of the Works Council are meeting today with the president of the Island Council, Inés Rojas de León, in order to present the employees' demands to the Presidency and try to find a negotiated solution to a conflict that has become entrenched in the conejera society. The members of the Committee have great hopes in this meeting, given what they describe as the "stubbornness" of the managers of the EPEL.
